Today I visited a Brookstone store to pick up a wifi enabled "smart scale" and while I was there I ran across a very cool device called a Boogie Board. It is a paperless note pad and is exactly what I have been looking for to replace the multitude of dead tree note pads I go through every year.
I often need to jot down load information, phone numbers, pick up numbers, directions, etc. These are notes I don't need long term and it's such a waste to use a paper note pad, but at the same time trying to type them on a tablet while on the phone doesn't work all that well either. This Boogie Board is the perfect solution.
You use a stylus and write on it just like a sheet of paper. When you no longer need the note you just press a button and the screen is erased and ready to go again. It even has an erase lock so you don't accidentally erase the notes until you actually want to do so.
The cool thing is that you don't need to switch it on, it's always in a ready to write state, and the only time it uses the battery power is to erase the screen. Very, very cool. I love this thing!
